UrbanDaddy

So one of my guilty pleasures is the daily dispatch I get from UrbanDaddy.com. In theory it's a "Man's Man" website catering to the GQ/Esquire set or those who aspire to that. They offer deals, vacations, restaurants and products that ideally Jeeves or Smithers or Alfred would slip to a "gentleman" sotto voce while helping him into his smoking jacket or admiring his ascot. But all with a definite urban jester's voice and outlook. (I stole that explanation from the website...I think). Anyhoo, I don't remember now how I happened upon them a few years ago but now it's one of the emails I most often look forward to daily. Here's a prime example of why:

"It happens.

You go out to dinner with your old friend Mickey Rourke, and then, a few hours, a few Negronis and at least one totaled golf cart later, well... you need a lawyer. And fast.

At times like this, there’s literally only one place you can turn: the Internet.

Think of this as backup for when your personal lawyer on retainer is out of the country.

So back to the golf cart. Step one: resuscitate Rourke. Step two: pull up this site (or use the app) and scan through the list of local attorneys, sorted according to their areas of specialty. (Traffic violations and/or sporting mishaps should do here.)

If no one picks up your call—after all, it is 3:30 in the morning—you can also leave a message on the site’s bulletin board, describing your situation (“Went Knievel on the 11th hole... allegedly”), and wait for them to come to you.
